Shaming, especially public shaming, can be as bad as or worse than some physical "punishment".

He's from Oklahoma. But that does not make it OK or excused.

From personal experience the first time that adult hit the child that child had a right and a duty to kick him in the nuts and when he fell

kick him , hard again maybe he would have given up his sadism.

I mean, if you can't beat your own daughter, who the hell can you beat?

Perfect chief of the ICE goons, innit?

I don't agree with corporal punishment, but that's not the part of this that is sick. Some people spank their children as a form of discipline and their children aren't scarred from it. The part that is sick is that you'd brag about it like this in public, that disciplining your child with spanking is a punchline for you to feel macho in front of others is disgusting.
